Servings 10 buns
Calories 307kcal
Ingredients
- 375 ml milk warmed to around 95F°
- 2½ tbsp caster sugar (superfine)
- 1 tbsp instant dried yeast
- 2 eggs room temperature, one for eggwash
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 600 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- vegetable oil
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Combine the milk, sugar, yeast, one egg, and butter in a jug and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Add the flour and salt to the bowl of your mixer or a large bowl, and stir to combine.
- Add the liquid to the flour and using the dough hook, mix on low speed for two minutes, until well combined.
- Increase the speed of your mixer to medium speed and mix for eight minutes.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and shape it into a ball. Place it in an oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour until is markedly larger.
- Gently punch down the dough and remove it from the bowl.
- Divide the dough into ten pieces. Shape into balls and place on lined baking trays. Make sure you leave enough space between each bun for it to rise.
- Cover with oiled plastic wrap and allow to rise again for another 45-60 minutes.
- At least 30 minutes before baking, heat your oven to 375°F.
- Mix the remaining egg with two tablespoons of water.
- Brush the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating halfway. Bake until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 195°F.
- Remove the buns from the oven, and place them on a wire rack. Cover with a dish towel to steam as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container for two to three days. A quick 20 seconds in the microwave will help soften them up.
Notes
You can knead the dough by hand. Transfer the dough from the bowl to a lightly floured bench and knead for 10 minutes, or until it is no longer sticky but tacky.
Baking time will differ when making buns of different sizes. Internal temperature is the best way to gauge doneness.
Rising time may differ depending on the time of year you make burger buns.
